Faunal remains from Mediaeval Bergen
Main Article Content
Abstract
The paper discusses the osteological material found in two layers dated to the beginning and the end of the 15th century excavated in Bergen, Norway. Nearly 95% of the material is identified to stem from cattle, sheep/goat, and pig. Survivorship curves of cattle, sheep/goat, and pig are derived from age identified long-bones. The cattle metapods and pelves are sex identified. Sheep and goat are identified from the shape of the metapods. An estimation of the height at the withers of cattle, sheep/goat, and pig is also calculated from these.
